High Paying Jobs!

Now that i have your attention...

If you feel the work enviroment is good and that you get paid well where do you work [if you'd recommend it]?

Iv'e Heard the LCBO pays like 20+/hour....is it true? what other tips or secrets, job wise do you know of?

I get around ...well it's higher then anything posted....

(I'm not giving exact amounts) reason I'm not is because I make less then most of the competition company employees... of which there are some. I'm at the low end of a low end scale


anyways I refuse to pay the high low game so don't guess...

to take training your looking at 2 years straight at RCC and around 30 grand now... OSAP can pay for a good chunk of it....

office space is the best work related movie


any job can be a good one you just have to find ways around doing work... like just walking around as if your going somewhere.... when really your just walking around aimlessly.... or just carry things from one end to another... then back.... you just gotta get good at wasting time.... that is key

Hey gatherer...

I'm a fellow RCC grad too. What year did you graduate? That was a good school, worth every penny I think. I had a job lined up 2 weeks before graduating.

I graduated september 2001 I attended from september 1999 to then...

either your on crack.... or things have changed since I went there .. the courses were a joke cheating was sooo simple ....and I knew most of it before attended... I have 3 pieces of paper that are worth a total of 26 grand.. it took 3 months before anyone in our class was able to secure a job (me being the first) and to tell you the turth they dicked around the administration of that school would bump marks if you whined... instead of fixing the issue you were whinning about....

RCC is a good school just don't stay long enough to become as bitter as I did.....

im with an agency now...... and they have me putting stickers on a metal rod in an assembly plant

needless to say i quit today


as for workopolis...... its useless....... over the course of 2 months i applied at every forklift related job in my area....... and checked every day for new postings.... and still never got a call



anyone have the time to take a peek at my resume?

it looks fine to me......... but for some reason i cant find a job anywhere.... even tho im qualified

Thanks!

workopolis is basically just all temp agencies... for the number of jobs on the site there aren't many "real jobs" on there
